Sugar. I have the hardest time passing up anything sweet. I would forego a whole meal for ice cream.

Getting into the habit of not knowing what, or how much I eat. That is why I love MFP. Also, exercise. :-(

One of my biggest challenges is that I am a perfectionist, yet I'm not perfect. I'd hate to say how many times I've lost weight and had something happen where I 'blew it' and one bad choice became a bad day, and then a bad day became I'll start again on Monday. And then I never start again.

Even now, I've got a streak of over six months of daily logging, and I've been over my calorie goal once in that time (Thanksgiving Day). I'm going on vacation in a couple of weeks, and I won't have internet access, and I won't be logging my food. My fear is that I will come back from vacation and I won't jump back into logging and exercising. I don't want to undo any of my progress so far, but I don't have a great track record of getting back on track after I fail.

Wow, good topic I see my own challenges in alot of everybody else's on here.

There is the sugar addiction that I am trying to break so hard. I also have the couch thoughts lol, like I REALLY need to get up and do something , and I will actually sit there and SEE me exercising in my head, and my body wont move I love food period though. Sugar is a big thing for me, but so is pasta and chips or any other junk that is bad for me. I think though that my hardest challenge is trying to keep my husband on this with me. I feel like I am having to work for both of us and that he is only doing it because I want him to. I know that he doesn't force me to eat anything, but he does sabotage me every time I am trying to eat better. It is always a just this one time isn't going to hurt you, or its only a bite, or its a holiday. There is ALWAYS something. I am trying to be better this time though and I am going to try to just let him do his own thing but it is so hard for me to not give in with him when I see him eating things he shouldn't be. The first day we started we had to go out of town to pick up my son, an every other week thing we have to do to swap weekends with his dad, so we had to eat out since it was dinner time when we get him and by the time we get home its bed time for my son and a Sunday so a school night. We went out to Cracker barrel and I was actually really good and only got healthy things, no fried foods at all or breads. Hubby ate two bisquits with his. The next morning, he "forgot" his breakfast at home so went out and got breakfast on the base at work, more bread and such. Then he tells me he is "doing good" this time. It is sooooo aggravating and hard for me to see him doing things he shouldn't be and not give in myself. Honestly, I think that is going to be the hardest thing for me. Exercise is right on up there under that though. I really want to be able to do it more and wish I knew a way to motivate my body into WANTING to do it lol.
